At the minimum, ranked choice voting needs to be put in place

Ranked Choice Voting is a pipe dream with no realistic plan for implementation, particularly in states that don’t allow for referenda. Incumbent politicians aren’t going to vote for something that jeopardizes their continued incumbency. And that’s at best. At worst, it’s another in a long list of milestones that centrists present, after which they totally promise that progressives’ concerns will be addressed and they won’t just come up with another milestone.

The rest of your comment has RCV as a prerequisite.

Like so. Just preemptively announce that young people aren’t gonna vote so you can continue to ignore their concerns.

Are you gonna act like our continued reliance on fossil fuels isn’t also largely due to the sunk cost fallacy?

Again, if you have a better idea, let’s hear it.

So, my point- if progressives did find a candidate to champion, there would be nothing preventing the DNC from simply saying, “no.”

You got a better idea? Because I don’t think the even the DNC is that eager to throw an entire wing of their party away.

To having primaries? I mean sure, if they want to go completely mask off and stop pretending to be a democratic anything.

Hence why they need to get a primary candidate early. If you can think of some other way to exert pressure, I’m all ears.

So we’re supporting an ongoing genocide because… the sunk cost fallacy?

YoUnG pEoPlE dOn’T vOtE! - people who don’t want to address young people’s concerns.

Agreed, which is why progressives need to start as early as possible.

Wait, that’s what you thought I was saying?

I was saying that PugJesus is usually the one saying that people want fascism when they decry the choices of others.

In the past, when I said that Biden needed to stop supporting genocide, he was one of the loudest voices calling me a trump supporting russian for saying it. So yeah, he should say it louder. You need to hear it too.

Honestly, filibustering any nominee to Khan’s right would finally get centrists to get rid of the fucking filibuster.

Campaigning this way has hurt her chances.

Progressives need to start finding a primary challenger for 2028 as soon as the polls close. Democrats will feel no leftward pressure otherwise and we’ll be unprepared if we wait.

We were frankly cheated out of a primary this year. The last primary without a preordained winner was 2008. We cannot let this become any more normal than it already has.

And some of you don’t overtly self-identify.

Four of them.

Louder. You need to hear it.

Nazis and proud boys often self-identify. And still enjoy the respect and understanding that centrists deny to anyone on their left.
